In the much-anticipated third One Day International (ODI) between England and New Zealand, cricket fans might have noticed a significant change in the England lineup. The talented batsman Harry Brook, who had been part of the squad in the previous matches, is not playing in this encounter.
ENG vs NZ 3rd ODI: Why is Harry Brook not playing?
The reason behind Harry Brook’s absence from the playing XI is attributed to a well-thought-out rotation policy employed in the ongoing series.
While Harry Brook takes a well-deserved rest, his absence provides an opportunity for the return of Dawid Malan to the lineup. Dawid Malan, a seasoned campaigner, had taken leave in the last match due to the birth of his child. Now, he is back in his place, ready to contribute to the team’s success with his wealth of experience and batting prowess.
Harry Brook, known for his promising batting skills, has been an exciting prospect for English cricket. However, in today’s highly competitive and demanding international cricket calendar, it has become crucial to manage player workloads and maintain their physical and mental well-being.
